Personally I think all those tires are great so I'd decide what you're after, an agressive all terrain or a mud terrain and then price em out. If you find all else to be equal make a decision based on price maybe.

My thoughts are, Georgia has limited trails and every time I've been out it's either been sandy or nasty red clay, everything slicks up but MTs probably faire a little better. HOWEVER, since you're not running too many hard trails you'd probably be better off with one of the other tires I listed. Especially considering how much rain you get, an all terrain will do better on wet roads than those mud terrains. I'd rather compromise on off road ability than on road unless I was running a lot of trails, rain aside -- road noise, braking, mpg...

I used to live in Augusta fwiw.

im also from Augusta and there are PLENTY of dry forest and logging roads where an all terrain will kick ass and take names - but you will eventually find mud.

i had the Duratracs (C Range) for about 15,000 miles. im now running the hankook mtr (D range) and they are a way better performing tire imho. they are a about the same road noise and just a lil heavier then then the Duratracs.

I had STT's for my first set of tires. Loved them. But make sure you rotate them alot. I was able to get 50k miles out of them. I have duratracs on a work truck at my job, hate them. Loud and ugly looking... STT FTW!
